The official convocation is distributed separately to members and is also available on the Ada-Belgium web-server. At 20:00 the General Assembly will be followed by a technical presentation plus Q&A, by Philippe Waroquiers from Eurocontrol, Brussels, Belgium. Everyone interested is welcome: you don't have to be a member to attend this presentation. Abstract -------- "Experiences porting large applications from Ada 83 to Ada 95" Eurocontrol/CFMU has developed two major applications for Air Traffic Flow Management and Flight Plan Processing. These applications, comprising well over a million Ada 83 statements, have been operational since 1995. Major evolutions of these two applications are planned in the near future, including integration of radar data and the use of CORBA to interface with components written in other languages. To facilitate this, we are currently evaluating the switch from Ada 83 to Ada 95. The first objective is to have the current applications ported to two different Ada 95 compilers allowing the comparative evaluation of the performance and quality of the two compilers and their associated tools. In a second phase, Ada 95 language features will be gradually introduced into the applications. The presentation will focus on the porting exercise: * Impact of incompatibilities between Ada83 and Ada95. * Differences of behaviour between compilers and impact on code. * Quality of tools. * Other lessons learned. Participation ------------- Everyone interested is welcome at either or both parts of this meeting. The event is free. If you are interested in attending the General Assembly or the technical presentation, we would appreciate it if you could inform us by e-mail (see below). Although no formal registration is required, this helps us preparing the event. All Ada-Belgium members have a vote at the General Assembly, can add items to the agenda, and can be a candidate for a position on the Board (see the convocation for more details). If are a member but have not yet renewed your affiliation please do so by paying the appropriate fee before the General Assembly (1999-members receive also a printed request via normal mail, including vouchers for free Walnut Creek double "Ada and Software Engineering" CD-ROMs). If you are interested to become a new member, please register by filling out the appended 2000 membership application form and by paying the appropriate fee before the General Assembly. Early renewal or registration ensures you receive the full Ada-Belgium membership benefits (including the Ada-Europe indirect membership benefits package). See our web-pages for all details. We still have a limited number of documentation sets available that were distributed freely at the Ada-Belgium'99 Seminar. Each set includes a.o. the Seminar Proceedings and the latest Walnut Creek double "Ada and Software Engineering" CD-ROMs (a special edition for SIGAda'99 and Ada-Belgium'99). These sets will be available on a first-come first- serve basis at the General Assembly for current and new Ada-Belgium members. Please inform us via e-mail if you are interested in receiving the free documentation set and/or CD-ROMs, so we can bring enough copies to the event. Directions ---------- This event takes place at the premises of the Universit� Libre de Bruxelles (U.L.B.), Boulevard du Triomphe / Triomflaan, Campus de la Plaine, 1050 Brussels, Belgium. Exact location is "Salle des Professeurs", building NO, 9th floor, room NO9.06. An access plan to the Campus de la Plaine of the U.L.B. is available via our web-pages. Parking facilities are at access no. 2 (parking Fraiteur, the closest) or no. 4 (parking UAE). Looking forward to meet many of you in Brussels!
